We seem to have more experience and explosive players on offense and I am looking forward to seeing what Mike Riley and Danny Langsdorf do with the talent.

Tommy Armstrong with the help of his wr's (best group in big ten) will win alott of games for nebraska this year late in the season when they need them most.

More weapons on offense. Too many questions on defense.

While it might not be dynamic, there is good talent and depth at receiver and more opportunity with the O-line than most give credit. The key will be quarterbacking, where i predict Darlington will overtake Armstrong at some point, and adaptability of the coaching staff to match talent with strate

The defensive staff is less proven, personnel question marks at DE and depth issues at LB.

Although the talent is good enough on the DL, we're thin at LB. Also, not sure about banker or at least more sure of MR & DL at least for now. We'll see, I am hoping that the days of Wisconsin blow-outs are a thing of the past

Going back to fundamental defense and getting rid of the complex garbage of Pelini. Big difference.

the defense will be more aggressive and attacking and different from the past which was less aggressive.

I think that the simplified scheme will make the defense better early. The first string looks very talented. The lack of depth at some positions could hurt the d late however. Staying healthy will be important. A pro-style offense takes several years to perfect so I think there will be growing pains

Is it reasonable to consider Nebraska a potential playoff team in 2025?

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

Just wishful thinking but I believe the talent is there. We will need a few breaks but it is possible.

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

Anything can happen, but up until now, Rhule hasn't shown that he can get the job done. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't by the hype. Show me on the field.

So tired of delusional preseason talk. How about a winning conference record and a bowl win.

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.

He was a tackling machine with a less talented defensive line in front of him at Georgia Southern. He will have bigger gaps and less linemen reaching him IMO

Dick Butkus is the best Big Ten linebacker. But Watson-Trent might be the best ever with a hyphen in his name. Jack Ham is the best Big Ten linebacker to have the middle name Raphael. LaVar Arrington is the best to have a capital V inexpliccably inserted into his frist name. The list goes on.
